magnificent film
20 October 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Quentin Tarantino is magnificent. I rally love the way he control the pace of a film. From the beginning of the movie. The part in the french house, where Landa (Waltz) interrogating the french family. For the first 2-3 minutes i was eagerly anticipating of something (drama obviously) big. But then, until around 5-10 minutes it became something big. For most other films, i would've already judged it a bad movie. But the changes of pace is really what made Quentin Tarantino is great.

The whole film was excellent, and the whole cast did a really good job in their portrayal of each character.Even brad Pitt, which i thought maybe was unable to play this character, i still think he really did a good job. But one actor which i thought did the best job (and quite frankly surprised me) is Christopher Waltz. Truthfully, i didn't know who he was until the film, but i've seen him in a couple of films, but i just didn't know it was him. Waltz portrayal of Landa is very very good for me, the way he expresses himself, the way he think, the Nazi'ness, the ability of speaking in many languages and still made the character easily to believe.

The best scene for me was when the basterds rendezvous with von hammersmark (diane kruger), the set was made perfect, the acting, the intensity, the comedy, was very nice. The ending of the clip was also very good, especially when hammersmark shot the Nazi private. For me that part of the film, is one of the best clips i have seen in my life.

The low down for me is the ending of the film. I think Hitler's death should be more dramatized, not that easy. The low down is also the "italian" jokes, for me is just a little bit corny. It was not that funny and shouldn't be put in the film.

Overall, Inglorious Basterds an almost excellent film.

Surrogates (2009)
5/10
OK. thats it.
2 October 2009

There is just something wrong with sci-fi movie that i don't understand. First surrogates has Bruce Willis (big fan), a picture of the future world, a movie about "maybe" the end of the world (love this kind of flick). From the many reason, i would've have easily like this movie. Surrogates is the type of film, that at first i'm very eager to watch, but in the end it only left me with "mmm its OK".

After watching this movie, i felt the same way as i watched Will Smith's I'Robot or Charlize Theron Aeon Flux or Ewan Mcgregor's The Island. It also have the same characteristics with surrogates. Surrogates is the type of film, that at first i'm very eager to watch, but in the end it only left me with "mmm its OK". I think the problem with this type of future sci fi movie is that present movie makers or story tellers can't really make good movie with the end of the world that involves robot or clones. Because, for me, there are a lot of movie talking about the end of the future but involves zombie or alien that is really good. But if it involves robot, i haven'n any one worth watching again and again.

Oh yeah, for surrogates, is action packed, easily guessed, Bruce Willis acting was OK, very serious, corny funny (funny because laughing at the some of the flick), very short (under 2 hours, i was shocked), and just OK.

The One (2003 TV Movie)
8/10
Wow,this was only made for TV?
16 September 2009
Wow, i was surprise that this is a movie for TV. I just watched it from the Hallmark channel and frankly i don't watch the channel a lot. This movie you can say is a every day romantic film that you can see from a lot of films.But it made me stuck on my TV to watch it.I think the simplicity of the movie is the magnet of this film. Richard Ruccolo's acting was really good in this film, i can really feel Michael Blake's character. The other cast, was okay, not the best, but fit perfect for the movie. The story really fits the bill with additional story linking with food in it. Nice writing. This film will make everybody think that the term true love is there. Good stuff.
